4 New Paper Packs!

In the new idea book there are lots of new products but what excites me the most is the new paper packs!  I have already shown you the Magnifique Kit since it's this month's Playgroup Kit.  But there are 3 other paper packs that are just as fabulous!  The fun and vibrant Hooligans Kit will be perfect for Halloween and other fun gatherings!  The colors of the Olivia kit will have you thinking of Fall and the subtle charm of the Mistletoe Papers will have you singing your favorite holiday tunes!

Magnifique

Hooligans

Olivia

Mistletoe

We will be using all four kits in the upcoming months during my monthly Playgroups.  We are creating scrapbook pages or cards or a combination of both!  It's your choice.  You can get the kit mailed to you each month or if you are local to the central Florida area- stop by to create with me!  Email me if you want to learn more about the Playgroups- scrapstudio@myctmh.com.  You can visit the Calendar on my website to see playgroup artwork and shopping list each month.

December- Mistletoe

  Happy Creating!

Get in the mood for Fall!

Does it feel like Summer has ended?  Gotta love the feeling that Fall is coming- the new Olivia Paper Pack certainly will do it!  During my recent Open House, attendees had the opportunity to make this cute card and matching envelope.  It uses techniques such as sanding, second generation stamping, and I added a hint of cocoa speckles with the black stubble tool!

8 New Colors Now Available!

Did you know that in the new Fall/Winter Idea Book, Close To My Heart introduced 8 new vibrant colors to our Carnival and Celebration palettes?  This updated new palette is sure to brighten your latest artwork!  You can find the new colors in cardstock, stamp pads, reinkers, and markers!  They are also featured in our new My Reflections paper packs in the Fall/Winter Idea Book!

I LOVE the new Magnifique My Reflections Papers- it's bright shades of blue make this peacock absolutely stunning! Three of the new colors can be found in the beautiful Magnifique papers: Lagoon, Sky, and Pacifica.  To create this 5 x 7 card, I used the watercolor technique for the peacock.  I first used Cocoa ink to stamp the peacock.  Then used the waterbrush to add in subtle shades of Lagoon, Sky and Pacifica throughout the feathers.  For a final touch I added a bit of prisma glitter over the feathers with a glue pen.  Simply stunning!  (My favorite combination of a simple technique with a huge impact!)  You may also notice the new blue sparkles- it's a great little package which coordinates beautifully with the Magnifique papers!
